Title: Re: [gwl-g] (no subject)
Here in the great Hoosier state, it's been against the law since
1996 to sell, plant or propagate any Lythrum,
inlcuding L. salicaria, even the "sterile" plants.

Any one have similar statutes in your states? We are trying to pass
this one. Any reason why this is a BAD idea?
Just curious.
